Women's hemlines go up as the economy gets better. They stay put when nothing happens in commerce. They go down when business drops off. The question is why. It seems that nobody knows the answer but the record indicates the pattern dates back more than 65 years.
So it looks like we'll be seeing a lot of maxi-skirts this summer! Indeed, the way the economy is going there'll be girls tripping over their hemlines. For 'leg-men' like me that is very sad news...
